Kickstarter Project to watch - nuplug

Kickstarter has allowed many great ideas to become reality in the last year or so, and this is a project that I would love to see work for the creator.  The concept is pretty ingenious.  An extension cord with USB and power outlets, but with a twist - it will clamp onto a solid surface to hold it in place.  This will help clean up the rats nest of cords most of us have by our couches and bedsides as well.

Watch the video and consider helping this guy out.  I think this will be a hit, but there are only four days left in the campaign and he still needs $14K to get it backed.

Athenian Grill: Greek Bistro & Market by Ilias Pappas — Kickstarter

 When we were in Kentucky, I wrote about the Ambassador Day at Makers Mark on day two of our visit.  One of the great things about that day was the amazing greek food we had from Athenian Grill in Lexington and their booth on the food court there.  Now Athenian Grill is working to open a permanent location in Lexington, and has turned to Kickstarter for funding.  While most of the awards for backers are only going to be valuable to people in the Lexington area, the $50 reward includes shipping of their scratch-made pastries anywhere in the U.S.

If you are in Lexington, or really anywhere in Eastern Kentucky, I encourage you to consider supporting Illias in getting this restaurant built, you will love his food and his passion.​
